When we return from break, we'll have a Socratic Seminar for Pearl & Christmas Carol. If you were absent on the 21st (or didn't finish the assignment in class) please email me two examples of each of the following question types (answers not needed this time). Whenever possible, ask questions that could be answered with evidence from either book.:
WORLD CONNECTION QUESTIONS
How do you treat people who approach you to give to charity?
Do you believe in ghosts? Explain.
CLOSE-ENDED QUESTIONS
How are Juana and Juan Tomas related?
According to Marley, how did he obtain the chain he carries?
OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS
Why does Kino see the things he sees in the pearl?
Why does the Ghost of Christmas Past show Scrooge scenes from his youth?
UNIVERSAL THEME / CORE QUESTIONS
What does holding a grudge against others do to a person?
How does Marley’s ghost’s statement “humanity should [be our]
business” apply to The Pearl and real life?
LITERARY ANALYSIS QUESTIONS
How might Dickens have written The Pearl if the purpose was to
convince the doctor to change his ways?
In Stave One, why does Dickens repeat that Marley is actually dead.
